August 1, 2026 - Stewarts & Kubota 175 - Sauble Speedway

We were excited to head back to Sauble Speedway as it was one of my better tracks last year, so we were hoping to have a good run.


The car was decent in practice and needed little adjustments.  We headed out in the second group for qualifying and ended up 14th overall.

Weather was threatening so our race was moved up and we rolled off in 14th position,  About 50 laps into the race, the leader 83 Dale Shaw caught me to put me down a lap.  I was racing with 81 Andrew Gresel and 39 Brady Smith for position during this time.  The 83 would get by me after a couple of laps.  Unfortunately, the 83 would also pass the 81 and 39 taking me out of the lucky dog position.

Spent a lot of laps attempting to pass the 81 car but wasn't able to complete the pass before the 89C Shawn Chenoweth spun in corner 4 bringing out the first caution of the night after contact with the 48 Pete Shepherd.

For the restart, we were back in 13th place and we are now racing with a light rain.  3 Shae Gemell would have a solo spin.  We would opt to pit for tires at this time.  3, 72 Jr Farrelly, 81, 23 Connor Maltese also pitted.  

We lined up for the restart in 12th.  We wouldn't get many laps in before the 72 got under the 3 in corner 1 and they would both spin, bringing out the caution.   Quick yellow and lined back up in 11th, back on the lead lap as I was the lucky dog.   

Unfortunately, just a lap later the 81 would spin off the nose of another car, there was a stack up to avoid the spinning car and I got into the back of the 39.  I had quite a bit of damage to the hood of my car and couldn't see very well.  As It was a quick caution I stayed on the track, although I wanted to pit to remove the hood as I could barely see with he damage, we opted to stay out.

On the restart, lining up in 11th again, and just a lap or two later, the 83 would get into the back of the 89C, spinning him around on corner 4 exit, and the 83 drove around him and the 10 Tom Gibbons ended up in the wall.  

I would pit on this caution and it would be the end of my night as I had a hole in my rad from the previous caution.  

It rained lightly for the majority of the race, there wasn't a great outside groove, some cars were not able to pass on the outside so there were some frustrations, tension and a whole lot of anger by a bunch of different people by the end of the night.

Unfortunately, it was another weekend to add a DNF to our list this year, but at least the damage wasn't terrible. We are taking it week by week and remembering what we do this for, I love racing and have a serious passion for it - so I try not to let these set backs effect me or our teams spirits, 

We have some great notes and are hoping for a better finish in Sauble when we are back in a couple of weeks.

Thanks as always to my crew - Dad and Paul, and this week we had help from Randal Harris and Wally Wilson in the pits.  Our sponsors Mobil 1, Welsh Meadow Wellness and RPM Designs.

See you all August 22/26 back at the Beach!

July 11, 2026 - LLR 125 - Flamborough Speedway

After being involved in other people's issues with two big wrecks, one at Delaware Speedway and one at Peterborough Speedway, we were looking to leave June behind and start fresh in July.

The damage was pretty severe at Delaware as the majority of the work had to be done by McColl Racing. They got the car fixed again and off to Flamborough we went, hoping for better results.  In practice the car felt good, a few minor adjustments and we would line up for qualifying.  I was happy with the car and we qualified 10th.

Our goal was to race hard and complete the race.  We would start the race in 9th as the 52, Jake Sheridan, had to give up his 3rd place qualifying to start at the rear as he had a mechanical failure they had to fix before the start. 

In the opening laps I would fall back to 11th place.  The race was hectic in the beginning with some bumping and banging up front, some three wide racing. The 52 and I raced side by side for a lap and thankfully got into single file as the 83 would break down the front stretch right in front of us.  The caution would come out and the 83 would go pit side, ending his night. 

I restarted in 11th and rode with the pack for a number of laps.  The leaders set a fast pace and started lapping cars on lap 30.  Approximately around lap 40ish, I came out of corner 2 and rode the wall, however no damage to the car. The car did continue to get tighter and tighter as the race went on and really killed the run we could have had. Still learning the track I tried some different lines to help the car and was still running better than we have here in the past.

 I ended up going down a lap around lap 55.  I got hit by the 23 on the front stretch, thankfully saved it as the 89c and 52 were right behind us, then the 72 did the same.  Patience was limited with 50 laps to go. 

The 23 Connor Maltese would be spun by the 89C with 26 laps to go, bringing out the caution to set up a crazy finish to the race.  I pitted at this time for a chassis and air pressure adjustment and was hoping for something better for the last laps. 

We restarted the race and things would go bad fast.  I was behind the 52, with the 22 Kyle Steckly and 72 Jr Farrelly ahead.  The 72 and 22 would get together and the 72 ended up with a flat tire going into corner 1, spinning in front of the 52 and I, but we were able to get around between him and the wall thankfully. 

We would restart again with 24 laps to go and the excitement would not be over yet.  On the restart the 3 Shae Gemmel would get into the 22, which opened the door for the 30 Brandon Watson to get by and take the lead.  It was typical Flamborough from here with everyone hitting each other at the front and patience was gone.  The 3, 52 and 17 Josh Stade raced hard for a number of laps for 3rd position before the 3 would end up going around on exit of corner 2 and cars went everywhere, including when I ran into the back of the 97 spinning him. This incident would end up bringing out the caution with 10 laps to go.  Lots of damage to the front end of my car, but we did not pit since there were so few laps left.

Restart with 10 to go and they weren't finished yet.  With 3 laps to go the 72 would spin off the 39 coming out of corner 2.  The race would start again, we did a lap and coming into corner 1 the 3 broke something, spun around and backed it into the wall.  So we had another restart with 3 laps to go!

The last 3 laps would go without incident from this point on and we salvaged an 11th place finish, which is basically a win for us after the last two weeks.

Thanks as always to my crew - Dad and Paul, the guys at McColl Racing and my sponsors.

June 27, 2026 - AC Delco 159 - Delaware Speedway


After a rough end to our race two weeks ago at Peterborough Speedway, McColl Racing got our car fixed and the car was perfect.  In practice, it was the fastest and most comfortable we've been on track.  I had high hopes for this race.

In qualifying, we would end up 0.291 off the pole speed and line up in 11th for the feature.  Dale Shaw in the 83 would get by in the opening laps and we ran in 12th place for the first 16 laps, the car felt good and we were happy. 

The yellow would come out on lap 16 for a debris caution and 51 of Mike Bentley would pit.  We lined back up in 11th.  Over the next number of laps, we would fall back a bit to 13th, but it's a long race and the car felt good.  

Caution came out again on lap 53 when the 30 of Jonathan Aarts would blow a right front tire and hit the wall and end his night.  Dale Shaw, Shae Gemmell, Connor Maltese, Josh Stade and myself would all pit.  Stade blew his power steering pump. We made a panhard bar and air pressure adjustment. For the restart, we would restart in 12th.

On lap 90 the 52 of Jake Sheridan would spin out of corner 2 and bring out the caution.  The whole field pitted, except the 72 Jr Farrelly.  We took two right side tires and made an air pressure adjustment again. We felt we had a good chance at a good finish today as the car felt better than it ever has. We would line up for the restart in 11th and moved into 9th by lap 94.

On lap 105, the 51 would bring out the caution with a flat tire.  

I lost a position on the re-start and fell back to 10th.  Unfortunately, on lap 110, as the 72 was falling back after not taking any tires at the caution, he went into corner 1 a little too deep and hit the 39 Brady Smith, who would then spin up the track. The 83 took the bottom of the track and I went high to go around, but the 39 drifted up into the highlane up to the wall and I would end up, for the second week in a row, with the most damage, in someone else's issue.  We have to rebuild the majority of the left front this week, including changing the oil pan as it was pierced as well.

Frustrating to end up on the hook two weeks in a row, gutted for my team.  Only 4 races in and we have had to take the car to McColls after two of them for major repairs.  

To finalize the race recap, on about lap 123, the 22 Steckly would get under the 19 Pritiko and the 22 would cut a tire (I believe) and spin to bring out the caution.  

Jake Sheridan would win the race, for the 3 race in a row. 

I am incredibly thankful for my sponsors and my team for all they do for me.  I literally couldn't do any of this without them.  The car is getting repaired and we will have it back at Flamboro in a couple of weeks, hoping for better luck and a great finish.  We will remain positive and hope all our bad luck is behind us. 

This season has been one of the most challenging and rewarding thus far and my team and I are pushing hard each week to make that top ten finish and end a feature not being down any laps! I am so thankful for the people who help me week in and week out and support me at the track and away from it. Shoutout to Wally Wilson for being stand in pit crew for me this weekend at Delaware! 

See you all at Flamboro!

 June 13, 2026 - NTN Triple Crown 175 - Peterborough Speedway

We looked forward to returning to Peterborough Speedway this weekend as I enjoyed my first time there last year.  This would be my second time racing at this track and I was hopeful that we would be able to figure it out and have a decent night.  This would not be the way our night would go unfortunately.

Right from the first lap on the track, the car was not good.  We qualified and would start 12th.

Not long before we were to start the feature, the rain came. Thankfully, it was a pretty short storm, and they got the track dried quickly.  We went back to racing on a cooler, green track.

For the first 5 laps, we were in and out of 10th and 11th position, but honestly, we just struggled so bad all day.  We were not even close on the set up and the car was, quite simply, horrible.  We settled into 12th until lap 18 where we would lose another spot and fall to 13th and then eventually 14th. We went down a lap about lap 33.  It's a long and frustrating day when the set up is off.

The announcers thought I brake checked the 23 car for hitting me earlier, but it was literally just that the car was that bad and the only way I could keep it on the bottom and not spin around, was to keep on the brakes. 

The first caution came out about lap 50, and the worst part is that it was for me!  The car went around coming out of corner 2.  We went to the pit and made some adjustments.  At this point, it was about finishing the race in one piece and logging some more laps at Peterborough.

The 30 of Morneau and the 3 of Gemmell would also pit under this caution.  We would restart with 22 Steckly leading, ahead of 52 Sheridan, 17 Stade.  They would all choose the inside line at the choose cone, 30 Watson took the outside to restart outside row one.

At lap 90, coming down the back stretch, I saw the 81 Mercer and 23 Maltese battling and they both got loose, so I went high to go around them and ended up in whatever it was that was actually dumped on the track, hitting the wall in corner 3.  As I would learn later, numerous people spun out and went into the wall.  52 and 17 sideways out of corner 4 and into corner 1, 19 spins in corner 1, 16 into the wall in corner 4.  I would end up with the most damage from the incident, and this would be the end of my race.

Disappointing for many reasons, but one of the biggest reasons is that my team and I do take pride in the fact that we have completed every race we've been in APC since being full time, trying to log as many laps as possible and learn as much as we can.  The only positive is that I could now watch the last 75 laps of the race.

The race would restart with Morneau as the leader.  Since he had pitted on the first caution, I assume he decided not to pit to get track position.  He would take the inside, 22 Steckly and 52 Sheridan would both take the outside, with the 17 of Stade falling into the inside behind the 30.  The 22 would get out in front of the 30 within 2 laps, the 52 would get ahead of the 30, but a caution would come out when debris would end up on the track.  They would line back up 22 on the inside, 30 fell in behind 22 and the 52 would take the outside.  52 would take the lead about 3 laps later.

With 30 laps to go, the 83 Shaw would get into the back of the 30 and it looks like their tires locked, sending the 30 around, while they were battling for 3rd position, bringing out the caution. The 83, 3 and 19 would all pit.

Restart with 24 laps to go, 52 took the inside and the 22 would take the outside.  They lined up 52, 22, 30w, 19 and 17 for the top 5. 52 would clear the 22, who would fall back into 3rd.  The race would finish without any other cautions or issues and the end result was: 
Sheridan, Watson, Pritiko, Stade, Steckley

The car was taken to London Saturday night and McColl Racing will go over the car and will have to do the majority of the repairs for us as there are a lot of pieces that need rebuilt. We are very fortunate to be able to work with them.

Special shout out to the Peterborough crew/tow truck drivers for looking after my car.  Thank you to Dan McHattie and his crew for helping to take my car apart to see what all was damaged and to Dan especially for the encouraging words. I appreciate you all so much.

Thanks as always to my crew - Dad and Paul and this week Cameron was able to help out.  Also, huge shout out to the Sheridan guys, Jo and Paul from McColl's, that all helped to get the car back together to get it loaded in the trailer, and Mike for driving my truck and trailer to London for me.  I can't do any of this without you all.  Thankful for my sponsors Mobil 1, Welsh Meadow Wellness and RPM Designs.

We will be back at Delaware for the AC Delco 159.

May 30, 2026 - Grisdale 150, Flamborough Speedway

Back to Flamborough Speedway for the first time in 2026, and this is the toughest track on the schedule for me.  Last year was a challenge to learn the track, but I think we came in with some good notes.  

Felt good in practice, put on new tires for qualifying and the car was slower, qualified 13th, where we would start the race. For the first 40 laps we would be single file, and make up no ground at all.  

The 17 of Stade would brush the back stretch wall and break the RF control arm bringing out the first caution of the night.  This would end his night unfortunately but gave me, along with some other cars, a much needed chance to pit and make some changes.  

We restarted the race in 11th and would immediately set out to race into the top 10 with a long battle with the 51 of Mike Bentley.  My car was faster, the leaders were coming and I got into the back of him a number of times, but he was able to hang on to the position.   I went outside behind the leaders and was able to make the pass on the 51 and drive away to about a 1/2 track advantage on lap 77.

I was looking to post my first top 10 finish in APC racing, however the 22 of Kyle Steckly would get into the 30 of Brandon Watson with 9 laps to go, bringing out the caution, taking away the lead I had over 11th.  As the race was less than 10 to go there would be no lucky dog, if there was it would have been us. We would line up again and I chose the inside line, 51 picked the outside and picked up a few spots.  I would end up behind the 51 again in 11th.

The battle up front, with 52 of Sheridan in the lead, the 89 of Chenoweth and the 3 or Gemmell both opted to take the inside line and the 72 of Jr Farrelly would be the first driver to take the outside line and move himself up into 2nd position.   The finish would be 52, 72, 89, 3 and 82.   

Thanks as always to my Dad and Paul.  We have a small but very hard working crew in the pits, and they are amazing every week.  Thanks to Jo Lawrence for all his help each week.  And of course, my sponsors Mobil 1 and RPM Designs and Welsh Meadow Wellness. 

We are looking forward to the next race 175 laps at Peterborough Speedway on June 13, 2026.

May 9, 2026 - Dayco 100 - Delaware Speedway

First race of the 2026 APC United Late Model series at Delaware Speedway.  It felt like a long off season, so we were glad to get our Mobil 1 car back on track.


The weather was the big unknown today.  We got practice in, and the car felt the best it had been at Delaware and I put down my fastest lap there, so we were happy.  Thankfully we got practice in as the rain would come, along with some hail and tornado warnings, therefore, qualifying was cancelled.  We would line up based on practice time, with a pill draw for the top runners.  We would start 13th.  Right from the beginning we would have radio issues!  I could hear my spotter, but he could not hear me.  A crew member in the grandstands had another radio and was able to take it to him thankfully.    

Within a couple laps, we fell back a bit to 16th, which actually worked in our favour when on lap 3, the 23 car of Connor Maltese, would lose a motor and drop a oil from the exit of turn 2 to middle of turn 3. The oil slick collected many cars, including leader 19 Connor Pritiko, 3 Shae Gemmel, 39 Brady Smith, those three would end their night there, but it also collected 30 Ray Morneau, 83 Dale Shaw and myself, all with minimal damage and we were able to continue.  

I did not need to pit, therefore, we were able to stay out and restart the race in 10th.  On the restart I battled with the 22 of Marshal Shrenk on the outside and made the pass for 8th. Shrenk would end up getting back past me a few laps later.

Mike Bentley 51 would go pit side around lap 25.  I continued to race against Shaw for a number of laps before he got past on lap 27.   

The second caution of the day would come out at lap 47 when the leader, 30w of Brandon Watson had a flat tire leading to a broken sway bar.  My car had been building loose on entry up to this point, to combat it, I added front brake and because of this, the brakes kept fading. As the caution came out the pedal was going to the floor at this point.   

On the restart, we would be in 10th position, we would fall to 11th and stay 11th or 12th for the rest of the night since we were down a lap and never got into the lucky dog position.  

On lap 78, Ray Morneau 30 would spin coming out of turn 4 and bring out the caution.  The front of the field would line up with leader 22 Kyle Steckly, 17 Josh Stade, 28 DJ Kennington and 52 Jake Sheridan.  I lined up in the 8th position but was actually down a lap in 11th place.  

Steckly got out front with Sheridan moving into second, with Stade, Kennington and Shrenk rounding out the top 5.  Luck would not be with the leaders today - Pritiko hitting wall in the oil on lap 3, Watson with the flat tire/broken sway bar while leading and then on lap 83, 22 Kyle Steckly would have a flat tire going into turn 1.  

Jake Sheridan would take over the lead on the restart, selecting the outside lane, with Josh Stade on the inside.  I was still in the 11th position, but would line up in 9th due to others going into the pits.
In the end it would be Josh Stade for the win with Sheridan second and Kennington in 3rd. 

After the mid way caution we gained a bit of brakes back over the run however our car would get tight as we lost 1/2 an inch of rear stagger. All in all it was a great learning race for us! 
​

We had a great first race of the year, fastest lap times we’ve ever turned at Delaware, in the mix before we lost our brakes/handling issues, and brought the car home in one piece. Looking forward to our next race at Flamboro Speedway May 30! 

Thanks to our sponsors:

The plans for 2026 are coming together.  The motor is in getting a refresh with Leitch Performance Engines and will hopefully be back soon.  We are getting the car ready and working an a new design for 2026. 

The plan, at this point, will be to race with the APC United Racing series, hopefully for the full schedule.  Tariffs are playing against all of us and securing sponsorship funding in always hard in the best of times, so we do hope to race all 8 races, but this will depend on funding.  

Last year was the first time on track for me for most of the tracks on the tour.  Now that we have a little seat time at each one, and a better idea how to set up the car at each track, we are hoping to improve on our program from last year. 

These guys are tough competitors and there are a few coming back to the series this year, so 2026 should be a great year.
